gorch Posted April 24 Posted April 24 ... and I don't know a single one of them, almost. Just a few weeks ago I heard the term Bad Bunny for the first time. My music taste rests in old school rock, blues, pop, jazz and classic. I think I'm really flexible and constantly try new bands recommended to me in social media. Not complaining, just wondering about that I am obviously living on another planet. https://www.billboard.com/business/streaming/spotify-most-streamed-artists-songs-albums-swift-bad-bunny-1236229726/ 1 Quote

bry4321 Posted April 24 Posted April 24 I don't use Spotify but would prefer "Most streamed by @velorush" list. 1 1 Quote
mrjamiam Posted April 24 Posted April 24 It just reveals the demographic that uses it, which I think it's safe to say is a different demographic than the one that uses the HFC forums. 5 1 3 Quote
RobB Posted April 24 Posted April 24 These charts make me wonder what is driving the sales of guitar, bass and drums? Is it modern country/western? One would think aspiring young musicians would be bypassing traditional instruments in favor of music tech. 3 Quote

As you wish (play shuffled for best results): The best time I have available for Spotify is during workouts. This gets blasted through an Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 loudly enough to camouflage the ridiculous groans of an old man going to failure on every set. 1 3 Quote
Teh Posted April 24 Posted April 24 IMHO, anyone who actually cares about the quality of the music is listening on Tidal. Spotify is all about the UI - The audio quality, even in their "lossless" mode, is unmitigated shite... 1 Quote

I'll give you unmitigated shite: how's about seven octaves of C-ish in my left ear at a perceived loudness of around 70 dB, 24/7/365? All sense of quality is 'lossless' on me! 😐💩😅 1 Quote

tommy p Posted Thursday at 02:24 PM Posted Thursday at 02:24 PM I subscribed to Rolling Stone magazine for a long time. In 2010 they did similar "year-end" and "decade-end" lists of best artists, songs, and albums. Out of all the categories I had heard "of" a few of the artists, actually heard ONE of the songs, and owned ZERO of the albums. I realized I had aged out and that's when I quit subscribing. I don't feel like I've missed a thing. 2 Quote
